Who? Serious question here, never heard that name before

well im kind of kidding with that post but he is manager of Las Palmas. One of my favourite teams to watch. No idea if he would be any use in england though

It seems Fabregas is leaving Chelsea in Jan. Let's sign him on loan at least.

Sorry, I should have quoted you but I couldn't find it. That post is not something I'd want to be taking credit for though!!!!! That's gotta be one of the most misguided posts I've ever read. And can you please stop it with the RAWK references. I posted your post to compare the optimism of then compared to today. I think it's a relevant comparison. We're not in a good place at the minute.

Given when the post was originally written and the math involved then I have zero problem with it, opinion pieces are called that for a reason mate.

As for one of the most misguided posts you've ever read, I suggest any of the numerous final piece of the jiggsaw posts whenever the rs sign any player, there thread started by a mod supporting a Irish lad who got banned for abusing a disabled season ticket holder pensioner and his wife in the mop and calling for all disabled people to be excluded from that stand, the xenophobic abuse foreign fans get for destroying the anfield atmosphere, or indeed any of there transfer threads which you must have missed.

Stop with the RAWK shouts? Why when everyone blatantly sees through your trolling and knows your a red, and a transparent troll at that.

There is absolutely no way Fabregas would join us.

But he's the exact type of player we need along side Gueye. A Fabregas / Cazorla type player who'll control the game and tempo, but help out defensively as well.

Michael Kean from Burnley. Jagielka punted, obviously.

Would love us to get Keane from Burnley. Looks a really good player.

At least we shall try if the money is really there.

Just praying we get more than 2 players in. Hard to overhaul the side in January as the players we may want won't be available so slow steady progression will have to be what happens. Just hope we actually see some improvement on the pitch.

You make that sound a lot easier than it is pal...

Why?

Tbf while I agree we need a playmaker, there's nothing to say that Koeman wants a player like that there...

Look at S'ton. He had two central midfielders - a destroyer (Wanyama) and an 'energy' player to fill the box-to-box role (first Schneiderlin, then Davis/Ward-Prowse).

We've got Gueye who is great at breaking up the play, but atm we've literally got him doing the work of two players in midfield.

davek has let is slip there, he obviously wants in Steve Kean instead of Koeman.

Pretty simple really mate. Need a new squad. He can be the playmaker yes. If possible sign Strootman and Schneiderlin. Ok yeah pipe dream but this is the reality, an overhaul providing the war chest is really here.
